For the google archives…
After installing MacPorts, I ran into a problem when I tried to get ImageMagick running (as per these instructions):
Warning: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes?
The MacPorts installation page mentions that you must do a system update right after installation, as such:
sudo port selfupdate
Unfortunately, this resulted in the same error. A little too much googling led me to discover that PeerGuardian 2 is blocking the rsync ports used by the installation. So…if you are seeing these errors, and you have installed PeerGuardian, simply disable PeerGuardian while you run “sudo port selfupdate”, and all should be fine.
(Side note, also helpful: “sudo port -d sync” updates the port list and provides some debug information)
